Critical Thinking Fights Back: Detect Deception. Resist Manipulation. Discern Truth. (Unabridged)

“This book is a powerful weapon in truth’s defence. It is a must-read.”

Dr Eoin Lenihan, independent journalist and extremism researcher.

We are living through an invasion of our attention.

Algorithms feed us what keeps us watching. Echo chambers divide us into opposing tribes, that mainstream media replicates and AI generates an endless torrent of compelling distraction. Somewhere along the way, in among the blizzard of propaganda and deception, we have begun to surrender our most important human ability; to think for ourselves.

Critical Thinking Fights Back is a street smart blueprint to reclaiming it. To help us think. Not what to think. To think for ourselves. Even to think even in groups.

Drawing from master thinkers across thousands of years, and the decades of dismantling protected myths, Eddie Hobbs shows how to question claims, test evidence, recognise manipulation, and challenge your own assumptionsCritical thinking is much more than an intellectual skill. It is a defence of personal freedom itself. When you finish this book it will feel like the return of a long lost friend, that’s because critical thinking is one.

It is how we are meant to engage with the world.
